3 Steps To Select An Ideal Duct Cleaning Vacuum

Among the myriad duct cleaning tools available in the market, few are as critical as a duct cleaning vacuum. With its high suction power, it can remove stubborn dust and debris from all types of ductwork. However, not all vacuums are created equal. Hence, as a cleaning contractor, it is critical to choose the best machine for a particular task. In this blog, Heat Seal Equipment Ltd. explores three such factors/steps to help you select the ideal duct-cleaning vacuum.

 

Factors To Consider For Duct Cleaning Vacuum

 

Portability

 

An ideal duct-cleaning vacuum needs to be strong yet portable. Maneuvering it around tight corners and spaces should not be a challenge. Ideally, contractors must have multiple varieties of vacuums for different tasks. For example, a strong vacuum for heavy-duty industrial cleaning that doesn’t require high portability or a small but less powerful vacuum for light cleaning. 

 

Fuel Source

 

This duct cleaning tool comes in two primary fuel sources, gas/diesel powered and electric. Each has its own set of pros and cons. Traditional gas-powered vacuums are stronger but less portable and their electric counterparts are easier to handle but lack in power. 

 

Longevity

 

Lastly, a great duct-cleaning vacuum must have a long service life. Most robust machines work for at least a decade and with proper maintenance and servicing, their life can be extended to two decades. 

 

Hence, by keeping these 3 factors in mind, a contractor can choose one or multiple duct-cleaning vacuums for their operations.
